Static Dissipator Additives

STATIC DISSIPATOR ADDITIVES

Hydroprocessing reduces the natural conductivity of the fuel.

Massive fuel flow rates combined with highly refined low sulfur fuels can build up electrostatic charges. Slow dissipation as a discharge from an electrically charged fuel to the side of the tank can be one potential hazard, causing electrostatic ignition and potentially explosions.

The ability of a STATIC DISSIPATOR ADDITIVE is measured by the extent it increases the electrical conductivity of middle distillates, thus reducing the risk of electrostatic hazards.
